I am able to get Selenium to run when the display is hidden, as in
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()
However, I can't get a visible display when I use this
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=1, size=(800, 600))
display.start()
I get an error
Traceback (most recent call last):

Program install error!
You can install it in terminal:
sudo apt-get install xephyr
When I go to sudo install xephyr as the error suggests, I get
20:36 ~ $ sudo apt-get install xephyr
sudo: unknown user: root
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin
I am just trying PythonAnywhere out for the first time at the "Beginner" level so I'm wondering if that is why I can't install or if it's something else.
Any help? Thanks!
